I believe I, and any Canadian, have every right to kill a person who represents a foreign (hostile)government, and tries to abduct me, or those I care about in my country. As they do not represent my government, I believe I’m free and clear.

No authority?

No process?

It is then an act of war, and we should respond accordingly with deadly force.

Just sayin.

This is one of the first times I’ve heard a Canadian threatening without saying sorry first.

Shit must be gettin’ tough

We’re done with sorry.

We are polite…..until we aren’t. That’s how the Geneva Convention was created.

The most polite people I know are also the most willing to stand up against wrong doing when the time comes. They are they way they are because they value good prosocial behaviour, they're willing to sacrifice their own convenience for it, and they're willing to defend it.

Well. I mean, attempt armed arrest anyway and hope they don't start shooting. That's just polite.

As they are not empowered by a Canadian government, they may not carry firearms unless they have an express act to do so. This may in fact be the case under a blanket act for border agents. We should review that…

I agree, foreign agents seeking to subvert Canadian sovereignty, their life is forfeit as long as they are operating on Canadian soil. They shouldn't have any legal protections either if their objective is to destabilize the country or attack our sovereignty.

And a whole new array of gun laws will be passed after the fact to ensure no more peasant revolts occur.

The only peasant revolt in Canada is a bunch of privileged right-wing traitors who want to join the weak minded drones that follow Trump. Losers, every last one of them. I should know.

They should be executed (tolerance except for the intolerant).

Canadians are chomping at the bit here to get a reason to go burn down the Whitehouse again.

It's only chompagne if it comes from the chompagne region of Fronce

They're generally both considered correct. "Chomping at the bit" has been in use for over 100 years.

Language, where you just have to be wrong long enough that your version becomes a dialect.

Champing at the bit sounds dumb af tbh and I've never heard it before IRL compared to chomping.

It's chomping, referring to the bit that goes in a horses mouth. If it chomps, it means it's eager. Hence, chomping at the bit means someone is eager.

Forty white horses on a red hill, first they champ, then they stamp, then they stand still.

Tolkien thought it was champ.

From a grizzled, old, Scottish WWII veteran: “Young Man, I’ll tell ya something I learned in the war, never, ever underestimate those Canadians! They are the toughest soldiers I encountered in the war.”

FTR: he also said he thought Germans were pansies, lol.

Dead now, but he was a tough SOB, himself (I mean, he WAS Scottish, so that’s a pedigree right there).

Many of us Canadians still have some Scottish blood. And I bet it works as well as it ever did.

Hah I wish. Society is to soft abdicated to screens and comfort. As long as the masses are entertained almost anything can happen.

You all need to be pressing your government to declare ICE a terrorist organization so that you can bar entry of any current or former member into the country.

Karl Popper had it right.

Do not tolerate intolerance and the behavior seen from the south.

Don't tolerate pro-MAGA Canadian Conservatives either. They're working against Canada.

Aha, so baaically if you get snatched and dragged into the US for suspected violation of US law, the American legal system is okay with it and you have limited avenues to defend yourself. Canada would have to "convince" the US to let you go. In other words, exercise higher caution around ICE than our neighbours do.

22
piefed.world

I'd love to see them try. And I think many Canadians are also chomping at the bit to "see America try". Lets see how far they get up here.

20

Here's an idea. If ICE walks across the border, shoot them. They're a hostile foreign invader.

15

"There will be a political and economic price if Canada followed member of Parliament Heather McPherson’s call for all ICE out of Canada"

There's no cost for standing up to bullies. On the contrary, the cost comes from backing down.

The question is: would a Canadian citizen witnessing an ICE kidnapping happen in Canada be allowed to use up to lethal force to stop it?

14

I don't care. I'm not an American gimp. I'll help a person being kidnapped or harassed in Canada. If it's a US MAGA Nazi fuck, they'll get a mother fucking double-double. I'll take the chance.

Fuck ICE.

10

It would be animal abuse at worst. So just make sure it's fast, clean, and humane. ;)

Fact of the matter is if ICE wanted to round up Canadians, most local police, at least in Alberta, would be helping to support ICE operations while making a canned statement on TV about the legality of their actions.

Learn how to snipe at distance. We cannot beat them with force, but we can bleed them dry from a million separate cuts.

What a dumb fucking point. Clickbait article.

"Here’s a scenario: Minnesota shares a border with Canada. Let’s say a stream of undocumented people decided to make a run for Sprague, Manitoba. Let’s say they somehow end up on the other side. ICE isn’t happy about it, and, on this day, agents decide to ignore the fact there’s a border."

Ok... I could find a place and just cross the border illegally too. Maybe me and a whole bunch of people.

It doesn't mean it's okay and that there won't be any repercussions....
